Abstract

A conceptualstudyhas beencarriedoutto convert geothermalwaterandcondensateintoa valuable industrial,agriculturalor drinkingwaterresource.Laboratoryandfieldpilottest studieswereusedforthe conceptual designs andpreliminarycostestimates,referredto treatment facilitieshandling750kg/sofgeothermalwaterand350kg/sof steamcondensate. Theexperiments demonstrated that industrial,agriculturaland drinkingwater standardscouldprobablybe met byadoptingcertainoperatingconditions.Sixdifferenttreatmentswereexamined.Unitprocessesfor geothermalwater/condensatetreatmentincludedesilication ofthewaters toproduce marketable minerals,removalofdissolvedsolidsbyreverseosmosisor evaporation,removalofarsenicbyoxidation/precipitation,andremovalofboronbyvariousmethodsincludingion exchange.Thetotal projectcostestimates,withanaccuracy ofapproximately±25%,ranged from US$10to78millionin capital cost,with anoperationandmaintenance(orproduct)costrangingfromUS$ 0.15 to2.73m−3 oftreatedwater.

1.Introduction

With the world enteringanageofwatershortages andaridfarming land,it is increasinglyimportant thatwe findways ofrecyclingwastewater. Theoil, gas andgeothermalindustries,forexample,extractmassiveamountsofbrine andwaterfromthesubsurface,mostofwhich areinjected backintoundergroundformations. Holisticapproachesto watermanagementarebeingadoptedevermorefrequently,andproducedwaterisnow beingconsideredasapotential resource.In theoiland gasarena,attemptshave beenmadeto convert producedwaterfordrinking supplyorotherreuses(Doranetal.,1998).Turningoilfield-producedwaterintoavaluable resourceentails anunderstandingoftheenvironmental andeconomicimplications,andofthetechniquesrequiredtoremove dissolvedorganic andinorganiccomponents fromthewaters.Treatmentsofgeothermalwaterandcondensateforbeneficialuse,on the other hand,involve theremoval ofinorganic componentsonly.

Wehave explored the technicalandeconomicfeasibilityofreusing watersandsteamcondensatesfromexisting and future geothermalpowerplants.Produced geothermal fluids,especially inaridclimates,should beviewedasvaluableresources forindustryandagriculture,aswellasfordrinking watersupplies.This paperpresentstheresults oflaboratoryandfieldpilotstudiesdesignedtoconvertgeothermal-producedfluidsintobeneficiallyusablewater.Thepreliminaryeconomics ofseveralwatertreatmentstrategies are alsoprovided.

3.Evaluationoftreatmentoptions

Inthis sectionthevariousoperationsconsideredforeach casearedescribed.

3.1.Arsenicremoval

Thetechniquesconsideredviable forremovingtracesofarsenic (As)fromcondensateor fromwaterareozoneoxidationfollowedbyironco-precipitationor catalyzedphoto-oxidationprocesses (Khoeetal.,1997).Otherprocessesforextracting Asfrom geothermal waters(e.g. RothbaumandAnderton,1975;Umeno and Iwanaga,1998;Pascuaetal.,2007)havenot beenconsideredin thepresentstudy.Inthecaseofthetestplant,ozone (O3)would begeneratedon-site using parasitic power,air and corona-dischargeultra-violet(UV) lamps,andironinthe formofferricsulfate[Fe2(SO4)3]orferric chloride(FeCl3) thatwould bedeliveredtothegeothermal plant. Thephoto-oxidationprocessesconsist oftreatingthecondensateor waterwithFe2+intheformofferrous sulfate(FeSO4)orferrouschloride(FeCl2), or with SO2photoabsorbers.Thelatteris generated fromthe oxidationofH2Sinturbineventgas (KitzandGallup, 1997).

The photo-oxidation processconsists ofspargingair through thephoto- adsorber-treatedfluid,and thenirradiating itwithUVlampsor exposing it tosunlighttooxidizeAs3+toAs5+. Inthe Fephoto-oxidation mode,theFe2+ isoxidizedtoFe3+, which notonlycatalyzestheoxidationreaction, but alsoco-precipitates theAs.In the SO2photo-oxidationmode,afteroxidizingtheAs,FeCl3or Fe2(SO4)3isadded tothewatertoprecipitate the As5+asascorodite-likemineral

3.2. Ionexchange

Strong-baseanion exchangeresins havebeenshowntoremovetracesofAs in geothermalfluids providedthatthe amorphoussilicais decreasedbelow itssaturationpointorthe waterstabilized againstsilicascalingbyacidification.Theion exchangealternativetoAsremoval byoxidation/precipitationhasprovensuccessfulinreducingtheconcentrationsofthis elementto belowthelimitssetfordrinking waterstandards.Aspart ofthepresentstudy,laboratoryandfieldcolumnartestsweresuccessfully conductedwith geothermal hotspringwatercontaining30ppmAs.Pre-oxidation of As3+is requiredtoachieveacceptableAsremovalby ionexchange. Inthesecolumnartests, NaOClandH2O2wereusedtopre-treatthehotspringwatertooxidizeAs3+toAs5+.Chloride-richwater,whichhadbeen treatedwithlime (CaOH2)andfilteredto reduceamorphous silicato wellbelowitssaturationpoint,successfullyregenerated the resin.In thefield,andforsimplicityof operation,weconcludedthatozone/Feco-precipitationorcatalyzedphoto-oxidationwould be preferredfor watertreatment overion exchangeas this wouldeliminate the need topurchaseandtransportadditionalchemicals.On the otherhand,ion exchange isanattractive option forextractingAs fromcondensate.

Specialion-exchange resinshaveprovensuccessfulinremovingboron(B)fromgeothermalfluids(Recepoglu andBeker, 1991; Gallup,1995).Hot spring waterfromthegeothermalfield,containing 25ppm B,hadits Bcontentdecreasedto<1ppmin alaboratorycolumnartest.Theresinwas regenerated withsulfuricacid(H2SO4).Nodeteriorationinresinperformancewasobservedupto10 loading andregenerationcycles.

3.3.pHadjustment

Themajority of the casesconsidered inthisstudyrequireadjustmenttopH.Addingsodaash(Na2CO3)can increasethebufferingcapacityofthewaterandcondensate.Sodaash or limetreatmentcan also beused toenhanceprecipitationofcertainspecies.PurchasedH2SO4,on-site generatedsulfurousacid (H2SO3)or on-sitegenerated hydrochloric acid(HCl)canbe usedtoacidifywaterstomeetreuserequirementsor toinhibit silicascaling(Hirowatari,1996;Kitz andGallup,1997; Gallup,2002).Anumber ofgeothermalpowerplantsaroundtheworldutilizewater acidificationtoinhibitsilica scaling.Unocal CorporationcommencedthispracticeofpHadjustmentof hotandcoldgeothermalfluidsincommercialoperationsintheearly 1980s(Jostand Gallup,1985;Gallupetal.,1993; Gallup,1996).Inwater acidificationthepH is reduced slightly soastoslowdownthesilicapolymerizationreactionkinetics withoutsignificantly increasing corrosionrates.
